Abstract
Some examples of transferring data from a subsurface of a wellbore using well fluids include positioning multiple data recording devices at a subsurface location in a wellbore. When a well fluid flows through the wellbore past the subsurface location to a surface, each data recording device is configured to receive and store data describing subsurface wellbore conditions at or near the subsurface location. At least a portion of the data describing the subsurface wellbore conditions are stored on each data recording device. Each data recording device is released from the subsurface location. The well fluid flows each data recording device to the surface. Fig 1.
